Ok, so before he admitted it, he kind of made it sound like whatever is going on between them is a showmance. He told Us Weekly, "[The rumors are] always circulating around us dancers. It's fine. That's the nature of what we do. We're always in close proximity to each other. In order to produce what Meryl and I produced, there had to have been so much chemistry, and we had it. And that's what leads people who are not used to that to speculate, which is great. I love that."

But wait -- don't panic just yet.

Maks went on to say, "I love her. I love her! I love her as a person and for what she has allowed me to do with our choreography and how much she's embraced it ... I literally had a perfect partnership with Meryl. Everything just came together."

Ugh! Why don't they just go ahead and declare that they're soul mates and live happily ever after so the rest of us can hang on to a shrivel of hope that true love like that actually exists?!?

How much more convincing do they need to realize they're meant to be together? I seriously can't take it anymore. If they don't come out publicly as a couple at some point in the near future, I swear I'll just die -- along with plenty of other fans who can't get enough of them.

They HAVE to be dating. They just have to. Anything less than that is way too devastating to consider. A "perfect partnership" only comes along once in a lifetime, and hopefully one of these days, Meryl and Maks will realize that!
